Oh my gosh I can't believe I just did this....

What do you mean, it's only $209 for a theme park view at GC! That's only a difference of $80 a night. And only a difference of $50 a night if you go standard view GC.


Andrea

the quote given to me included tax and everything and it was $509 for GC and $311 give or take a couple bucks for DLH...so thats close enough to $200 for me lol

Yes I guess the taxes on $50 more a night would add up! But even with $189 x 2, I called and got $465 for 2 nights. That is standard view, you must have been quoted the $209 price. But it's still even $150, but since you can hardly ever get the GC for $189 anymore, if you have the means I would definitely go for it!!!

You deserve it!!

I have never stayed at the Grand Californian and have always wanted to. She really wanted to stay there , but the only price we had seen was $260/night. This is totally worth getting the annual pass.

Also, when I called to ask for the AP rate, they told me it was 10% off and would be $308/night. I mentioned that I had specifically heard about a rate of $189, and what do you know, she found that rate! You have to ask and know what you want.

I wish I was going.

I really hope you get to stay there!! Do you have anyone that can go with you and help share the cost? It's much easier to swallow at half price, I'd try like heck to find someone that would go with you! Shoot, I'll be there those days but I'll have three little ones with me!

Either way, both hotels are great and you will have a great trip! Glad you decided to extend it to make it a little mini vacation!


Andrea

 

[disneegrl4eva]

thanks andrea...no I dont have anyone that can share the cost with me...just me myself and I lol...Im glad to be able to extend it as well...I booked PS today for AG princess lunch one day and BB the next...will put a hold on character breakfasts this time but I think I may be bringing my gd back after school is out in june before the crowds (and heat) really get too intense...at that time we can do the character breakfasts thanks though for the good wishes

aww Andrea thanks for the offer thats really sweet of you but we are doing Ariels Grotto that afternoon...are you going by yourself with the kids? we should still plan to meet up since you will be there...I always want to meet fellow Disers..

 

[PrincessSitka]

Good for you enjoy with ever hotel you chose they are both nice

 

[AskTheChief]

For that great rate, I would do the GCH. Only because I, personally, wouldn't want to spend the insane amount of money they ask normally, yet I would love to try it out sometime.

I wish we could go around that time but no go.

 

[disneegrl4eva]

thanks everyone for your replies and thoughts...I have decided, mostly with the help of my friend AlexK2Mommy that Im gonna go ahead and stay at GC...I think the of the prices started my downward spiral into mass confusion I doubt I will get these prices again this year so Im gonna go for it...thanks again

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have to have to have an AP to get Disney Dashboard? It sounds neat!

Thanks!

 

[Luvmy2Js]

I don't think you could go wrong with either one of them. We have stayed at both and love them both. I think for this rate though I would go with the GC if I had the money for it. I keep trying to talk DH into staying at DLH during this time frame but so far it is a no go.

nah not a dumb question but yes you do have to have an ap to get the dd...sorry

 

[Delilah Bleu]
